我们引起了生产的各种类型的关系从句在一组讲德语的儿童与特定的语言障碍（SLI）和典型的发展控制，以测试运动的可选性帐户的语法困难SLI。研究结果表明，德语为母语的儿童与SLI受损的关系从句生产相比，典型的发展中国家的儿童。他们产生的替代结构包括简单的主句，以及孤立产生的名词和介词短语，有时适合上下文，有时不适合。至关重要的是评估运动的可选择性帐户，儿童与SLI产生很少的嵌入式条款的情况下，关系从句中心名词是在原地发音，事实上，这种反应是更常见的典型发展中的儿童控制。这些结果强调的困难，讲德语的儿童与SLI的结构，涉及运动，但没有提供具体的支持运动的选择性帐户。
We elicited the production of various types of relative clauses in a group of German-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing controls in order to test the movement optionality account of grammatical difficulty in SLI. The results show that German-speaking children with SLI are impaired in relative clause production compared to typically developing children. The alternative structures that they produce consist of simple main clauses, as well as nominal and prepositional phrases produced in isolation, sometimes contextually appropriate, and sometimes not. Crucially for evaluating the movement optionality account, children with SLI produce very few instances of embedded clauses where the relative clause head noun is pronounced in situ; in fact, such responses are more common among the typically developing child controls. These results underscore the difficulty German-speaking children with SLI have with structures involving movement, but provide no specific support for the movement optionality account.
